To Gregory, Christopher & families:  I was sorry to read of your father's passing.  He was one of the nicest men I've known, and he & your mom made a great couple.  I'm glad he was able to stay active and be around for so many years after Veda passed - and now they are together again.  
   Your father led a good life and made a difference in the lives of so many - and that's the sign of a very successful man. 
     Wish I could have made it to the service today, but my prayers are with you & I'm there in spirit.  My sincere condolences to you and yours.

My husband, Ron Walker, was a colleague of Roger's, and I know how highly Ron respected Roger as a caring teacher, someone who truly had students uppermost,  He was a rock-solid good citizen of the universe, and such a gentle person.  I have always appreciated Roger's annual support of the Ron Walker Graduate Fellowships all these many years.  My thoughts are with you as you adjust to his absence.

Dearest Greg and Chris,
I cannot believe how the years have passed. Greg, even though our paths crossed in junior high then again in college, I had not met your parents during that time.  I do remember seeing them in church and I was taken by the reverence with which your father treated your mother.  Then as fate would have it, I became acquainted with your father because he became my advisor at CSU.  He was my 3rd advisor because the other 2 predecessors were otherwise occupied and not of much assistance.  He helped me get my academics on track and he genuinely cared about me as a student.  He believed in me, inspired me and I shall always remember him fondly.  Professor Gilmore was a kind, good and gentle man.  My life is better for having known him.  You are truly blessed for having had him as a father.  My condolences to you and yours.  Always, Veronica

Dear Gregory and Christopher,
Those of us who have know your father have been very fortunate. He provided us an example of someone who without fanfare contributed positively to his endeavors, extended goodwill to all he met, and steadfastly loved his family and friends. The relationship he shared with your mother Veda remains an inspiration to me to this day.  Your parents truly appreciated and delighted in each other and it was a joy to be around them. I treasure my memories of RMHS department gatherings with your mom's wonderful laugh and your dad's lovely smile as he offered us some of his outrageous guacamole! You and your parents have loved each other deeply in good and hard times. The strength of that love remains with you today and forever. 
I am grateful for knowing your father.
Becky Thomas

Chris and Greg-
I will always remember your father as a wonderful man and neighbor.  I also will remember the many sharings of our birthdays.  Know that I will not forget his warm smile and many stories of his exciting travels.  
My thoughts and prayers go out to you with this sudden loss of a wonderful man.  Take care and God bless.

Chris & Greg,
Although I cannot attend the visitation, rosary or funeral, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.  I only met your father once but he was a perfect gentleman and a gracious host.  The party that your parents held for the ""Statesmen"" was very enjoyable and still fresh in my memory.  Your parents were both exceptional people and raised exceptional sons.
I know that you are experiencing profound grief right now, but hope that both of you, and your families, are in good health, happy, and have many wonderful years and memories ahead.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

We remember Roger as a good friend.
Our prayers are with the family.

We were so sorry to read of your loss in the local paper.  Betsy and Roger taught in the foreign language department at CSU at the same time, and I talked to him at several departmental social functions.  We will be unable to attend the funeral because Betsy is not well but we will be thinking of you all.  We know your hearts are heavy with grief now but pray they will lighten with time.  Our deepest sympathies to all at this time of sorrow.
Betsy and Gene Berwanger

I remember Roger with fondness way back to the days when I was a foreign language student of his.  He was a gentle and caring man, making the day better with his friendly attitude.  My condolences to you and the family.  I know you will miss him, as will any who knew him.
Best wishes,
Marian Febvre

I regret I will not be able to attend either the funeral or the rosary for Roger.  He was a cherished colleague in the Foreign languages department at the University, and I honor his life and his persona.  His office was close to mine, and we had many wonderful conversations reflective of his curiosity, his concern for students, and his love of his family.  Above all, Roger was a decent and honorable individual, and what finer adjectives could one hope for as a description of one's life.  May his family be blessed with the memories of his life.  With sympathy and with empathy, Kay Herr Gillespie

I worked with your father when he was doing teacher training and I so much enjoyed talking with him.  He had a gentle spirit and a kind word for all. I know you will miss him.
Thinking of you.

Dear Gregory, Christopher and  Families.. 
Your father Roger is one of the finest men I ever knew. His word was his bond.. His love for your Mom and you boys was a joy to see for all of us who knew your wonderful parents. Your Mom will always be in my heart.. It has been 18 years since she passed away after her long  battle with cancer. Your Dad was there for her every step of that journey.. I think of her a lot.. Her love of all of us in the Industrial Arts Department and Foreign Language Department at Rocky Mountain High School was the glue that held us all together.. Your Dad was so supportive of all the students he had in his life of teaching.. They all loved Dr. Gilmore for his teaching but as a friend as well. Heaven is truly rejoicing with your folks being united once again. You have so much to be proud and thankful for. You both are cut from that same piece of cloth..
God bless you and hold you tight..
Jim and Sandy

Roger was a dear friend and a great colleague.  His love of family and his commitment to others were inspiring, and his thoughts and insights often guided my decisions.  Susan and I enjoyed his humor, his joy in life and, of course his good company, both here in Montana and over lunch or dinner in Fort Collins.  We shall miss him greatly.
Susan and Tobin
